With the two biggest holidays of the year quickly approaching, Sharise M. Hemby, LSW and Tess Kenney, LPC say it is not necessary to let the tensions of the season stress you out.

Know your limits they suggest. “Pay attention to the signs from your body,” explained Kenney. “When situations start affecting you it is good to do what makes you feel better, like taking a walk, bath or exercising,” she points out. “It is good to know how your mental health affects your physical well-being.” Hemby says having knowledge of self is also important.

Recently celebrating their first year in business, the owners of HandinHand Counseling Services, LLC are enjoying the experiences of entrepreneurship. Combined they have 25 years of experience in the Human Services profession, which they utilize in their private counseling practice. They identify their goal at HIH as promoting hope, health and healing to individuals and families dealing with generational and situational obstacles while providing various mental health and behavioral health services to a diverse population.
